Alban von Montbe

[David M]

Hi Gents

I am looking for data on the career of the sachson officer Alban von Montbe. Over the internet I could ifnd out he was Stadtkommandant of Dresden 1874-1885. He also held the Inhaberkreuz (=4th Class) of the Wilhelmsorden, that's why I am interested in the 1st place. A picture would be great too

Thanks a lot

David,

here is General Alban v. Montb?. He was not the Kommandant of Dresden but the commander of the 2. Infanterie-Division Nr. 24 at Leipzig from 22 December 1873 - 10 Mar 1885. He lived to a great age dying on 28 January 1911.

Hi Glenn

Thanks for the info and beautiful picture. What was the source for the pictures?

David,

the portrait and the text is from "Die Generale der deutschen Armee von 1848-1871", Band II by G v. Glasenapp. Here is the General`s death notice from the Saxon Army "Milit?r-Verordnungsblatt".

Hi Glenn

That is an interesting title!!! is it set-up by country and does it also contain the last kurhessian Generals 1848-1866 like Schirmer, Kaltenborn and R?ppell von Helmschwerdt?

David,

actually the title is misleading. The majority are Prussians plus a handful of Bavarians and Saxons!

Hi Glenn,

as my research progresses, I found some other senoir prussian officers

and wondered if they would be in your book as well, again looking for career data, pictures and possible dates of the (foreign)awards:
